Durkee. "Have you no news for me. Edie?” Leila Durkee’a gently - breathed query, as she lifted her sister's left hand and looked at the ring finger, seemed to me like a raucous shout In the quiet library. Instinctively 1 found my eyes trav eling to Dicky in ths window alcove, but, quick as was my glance, Edith Fairfax's was swifter, end I found myself breathing hard, as if I had been running, while my whole body tensed with the knowledge that! con sciously or unconsciously, she had expected some definite reaction of my husband to her sister's Implication. Had Dicky heard? I knew that mentally she was asking the same question as I, but the answer was not for either of us as yet. Ills back was toward us and there wan no slightest sign to indicate his knowledge of any thing going on inside the room. Carefully I kept my eyes averted from the sisters, but I could visualize llie hasty withdrawal of Edith’s hand and 1 could not help overhearing her whisper, which, to mv Inflamed Im agination, was loud enough to reach Dicky's ears: “Of course not. Goose! What news should I have?” Leila's murmured reply was barely audible even to me, standing much nearer them than Dicky. ■'Why! I had hoped from your let ters that—Jim—" "Nonsense!” came the quick, irri tated answer. "Jim's the same old dear, but—I’m not sure—yet—" Ijeiln Is Sorely Distressed, 1 understood the Implication, if her sister did not, and my pulses quick ened angrily at the knowledge that Edith Fairfax could not be "sure” of her feling toward Dr. Paige—klns man. comrade of her childhood, de voted wooer of her young woman hood—becauae she had not yet con quered the unrequited affection for Dicky which had caused me eo many hours of mental anguish. I had no time to nurae my griev ance, however, for Leila, with quick irrelevance, went back to her own problem and Included me in her ap peal. “Oh, Madge, dear; please come here and tell me what I'm going to do about Mother Durkee!” she pleaded, and when 1 promptly crossed to her sldA she released one hand from Edith's clasp and held It out to me. t clasped it tenderly, smothering my resentment against Edith In my very real affection for her sister. "Do?” I echoed Impatiently. "Nothing at all. Just leave her to herself. Her own common sense will show her the injustice stie has done you.” “Rut it’s awful!” Della said. “Thai telltale fare of mine! You know I wouldn't have hljited a single syllable to her, don't you, but I know what Alf la up against and when she was planning ail those new dresses, just ae if nothing had happened, I sup pose J showed in my face whal I was thinking. Oh, 1 wouldn’t have It happen for anything! She'll think I begrudge her new dresses.” “Suppose she does,” Edith struck In cooly, and in her voice was the tense partlssnshlp of “In laws” ranged on different sides of a ques tion. “Perhaps it will bring her to her senses. The trouble with that woman is she can't realize yet that Alfred Is married and has other re sponsibilities beside his mother. She's an adorable little woman, I grant you, she's a spoiled child, neverthe less, and the only difference between her and an equally spoiled youngster of three years is that you can spank the 3-year-old." “I mustn't let you talk that way about Alfred's mother, Edie,” Dpila said with pretty dignity, and as 1 saw the elder sister's fare whiten and her fingers clench, 1 knew that Della'a reproof had bruised her spirit sorely, bringing home the fact that her sister no longer belonged solely to .her, but gave sweet fealty to her husband and his . mother, evcei through Incidents which aroused I Edith’s Ire. 1 wan compelled to an unwilling ad miration for Edith Fairfax aa I aaw her choke back the retort upon her lips, and .Instead say contritely. "You're right, I^ila,' I should not have spoken in that way. But you’re wrong in grieving over what has happened As Madge saya, if your motber ln law has ordinary common sense, she’ll soon realise her Injustice to you snd things will adjust them selves." "But T want her to hava tha new things," Leila wailed. "Jt will be aw ful If she doesn't get them because of what she saw In my face.
